You may want to dig into bill c2, the fentanyl tzar, the Golden dome, tripling military spending, and all of the cuts to Canadians services in order to finance these and any other projects Trump wants

That CIA manual on disrupting movements doesn't get talked about enough. Honestly it could be brought up at Union GMMs to have better meetings too 😆

Today is the anniversary of the Al Aqsa Flood and the acceleration of the decades long occupation and genocide of the Palestinians.

May I live long enough to see the fall of US empire and a free Palestine. Long live the resistance 🍉 ✊

I like Engler's politics but everything I've heard from activist buddies and riding association peeps about their interactions with Engler shows he's not a leader, not an organizer, and is generally kinda rude and transactional.

Look up the white paper called "extending Russia"

Welcome back to the less crazy version!

Looking forward to the end of this NATO provoked forever war, where our Ukrainian and Russian fellows are going to war to die so that Blackrock, Lockheed Martin, and other US defense contractors can make a buck and Trump can get rare earth minerals. So needless

Lol well played. This took me a few minutes too. It's hell is us!

True, but defying legislation is the counter to this and always has been.

Every time a union has defied back to work legislation, be it section 107 federally or the notwithstanding clause provincially, in the past 3 years labour has won. Union leaders just need to realize this.

Same story here in Canada! A fine read

Ngl I'd so be into a non-tariffed BYD car because it'd probably be the only car I can afford once my beater explodes 😅

Country whose politicians gave standing ovations to Nazi says Irish rap group hurt their feelings and are therefore terrorists.

The word terrorist still has no internationally agreed upon definition. In function, for the US and its allies, it means "whoever does stuff we don't like"

Highly recommend this @upstreampodcast.bsky.social podcast with Chris Gilbert on Venezuela and socialist communes - communal forms of social production that form the basis of a socialist and anti-imperialist national project. And now under direct military threat from the US.

This is great. I never thought about it that way - how food in games is always a power up, but in an eating disorder in real life it's the opposite

Lol true

Lol I appreciate this even as a CUPW member. Appreciate all the support from the public on the picket line! Pictured: our tally of supporters vs detractors at my depot. For those looking for the real story, avoid legacy media and go to The Breach

Solidarity with Venezuela ✊. This is so obviously about oil and regime change. @upstreampodcast.bsky.social has a great series on this

"*I* didn't crash the bus, *I* only let go of the steering wheel. If the passengers didn't want to crash, they should've leaned harder into that last turn."

Yooo. True that! As far as I've seen every depot is picketing, usually just one shift unless it's a processing plant.

They have to have some that are picketing but just aren't on the map.

As for your take on why head office isn't being occupied with a sit in 24/7, I agree

Well said, McGillucuddy! It's like I say when people talk about how blisteringly fast and convenient Amazon delivery is, "you can do wonders with slavery. It's why the rich fought wars over keeping it."

Between Tranjan getting a piece in the Star and the recent editorial by @lindamcquaig.bsky.social about postal banking 💰 📮, I feel like I'm living in a bizarro world where good faith discourse on the public good is coming back.

Canada Post faces two futures—a revitalized public service or a billionaire cash machine ⋆ The Breach The Liberal government is dismantling Canada Post for the billionaire class, while ignoring bold proposals from postal workers to reinvent the public service

Billionaire lobbyists, pressure from American logistics firms, Liberal Party family members who work with Amazon, and of course the gleeful complicity of legacy media - The real story behind why the government is determined to dismantle your public post office

I switched to Qobuz and Podcast Addict. Highly recommend either, but especially Podcast Addict

Someone slowly drove by the local postal worker picket line while asking "when's this all gonna be over?"

"Well," I replied, "we've all gotta die sometime." He didn't hear me. Still, we've had lots of support from the public and local businesses

We're keeping score of how many people came by supporting the Postal Workers fighting back against privatization vs how many are for service cuts.

Don't listen to legacy media. The public actually like services that serve them and not the 1%

Linda McQuaig: Postal banking once made Canada Post profitable — and could again Providing banking services to rural and low-income Canadians through post offices would be a Canada-first form of nation-building for the people.

Here’s something that could make Canada Post profitable — like it did before -- but instead Mark Carney wants to gut our national post office. That’s no way to build a nation. #canlab #cdnpoli #postal #canpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!
